    (a) Any member of the Authority, the General Counsel, or the Panel, 
any administrative law judge appointed by the Authority under section 
3105 of this title, and any employee of the Authority designated by the 
Authority may--
        (1) issue subpenas requiring the attendance and testimony of 
    witnesses and the production of documentary or other evidence from 
    any place in the United States; and
        (2) administer oaths, take or order the taking of depositions, 
    order responses to written interrogatories, examine witnesses, and 
    receive evidence.

No subpena shall be issued under this section which requires the 
disclosure of intramanagement guidance, advice, counsel, or training 
within an agency or between an agency and the Office of Personnel 
Management.
    (b) In the case of contumacy or failure to obey a subpena issued

court for the judicial district in which the person to whom the subpena 
is addressed resides or is served may issue an order requiring such 
person to appear at any designated place to testify or to produce 
documentary or other evidence. Any failure to obey the order of the 
court may be punished by the court as a contempt thereof.
    (c) Witnesses (whether appearing voluntarily or under subpena) shall 
be paid the same fee and mileage allowances which are paid subpenaed 
witnesses in the courts of the United States.
